This section contains the nature of the case and procedural background.

In 1970, Leigh (P) sold his business to Isom (D) for a down payment of $20,000 and monthly installments of $500 per month plus interest for ten years. After the sale, P repeatedly confronted D during business hours, interrupted sales, harassed suppliers, continued demands and inquiries regarding the manner that D was conducting business, and threats to cancel the contract. P was driven to bankruptcy. P refused full payment on the contract and sued to repossess the business. D counterclaimed for intentional interference with business relations. The verdict was for D for both punitive and compensatory damages. P appealed.
